Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund
Fiscal policies can support [AI investment and innovation] by strengthening tax systems and by funding research, reskilling, or sector-based training programs. However, tax systems should not encourage automation at the expense of people. Likewise, effective financial regulation will be essential to ensure financial market efficiency and improved risk management.

Verified. The IMF source URL returns HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim from IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva's February 3, 2026 speech "Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Enhancing Countries' Preparedness" (WGS-Dubai): "Fiscal policies can support [AI investment and innovation] by strengthening tax systems and by funding research, reskilling, or sector-based training programs. However, tax systems should not encourage automation at the expense of people. Likewise, effective financial regulation will be essential to ensure financial market efficiency and improved risk management." Author attribution is correct (Georgieva, IMF MD). Year 2026 is current. The vote "for" on the statement "Governments should tax capital, not labor, as AI makes human work less central to the economy" aligns with Georgieva's position that tax systems should not encourage automation (capital) at the expense of people (labor) — supporting a rebalancing of tax burden. Source URL is the appropriate primary source.
